Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed the tomb of a previously unknown queen, Egyptian officials say.

The tomb was found in Abu-Sir, south-west of Cairo, and is thought to belong to the wife or mother of Pharaoh Neferefre who ruled 4,500 years ago.

Egypt antiquities minister, Mamdouh el-Damaty, said that her name, Khentakawess, had been found inscribed on a wall in the necropolis.

Mr el-Damaty added that this would make her Khentakawess III.
